Borriol

Built around a hilltop castle, Borriol grew into an inland town in the Plana Alta, just north of Castelló de la Plana. Its municipality reaches the foothills of the Desert de les Palmes Natural Park, a coastal mountain area rising between the plain and the Mediterranean. Borriol Castle, of Islamic origin and later altered after the Christian conquest, remains the town’s defining historic landmark. The route of the Via Augusta also crossed this area, recalling the Roman road that connected settlements along eastern Iberia. Borriol’s position between the coast and the Valencian interior gives it a distinctly transitional character. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of the Valencian Community.
